"Watch out!" Draco lunged for Hermione and pushed her to the side so she wouldn't be trampled by the centaur that was heading straight toward them.

Draco tripped on a tree stump, bringing Hermione down with him. She landed right on top of his chest.

"Granger!"

She pushed herself off of him and stood up.

"Hey, it was your fault! I didn't trip, you did. You didn't have to bring me down with you."

"You're right. I should've just let the centaur trample you to death. How stupid of me," Draco said sarcastically.

"Oh just shut up already! Why did you apparate here in the first place? Hermione crossed her arms in front of her chest and rolled her eyes. "Did you know who it was that shattered my window? Was this your plan all along, to get me to come out from hiding so the Death Eaters could raid my house and kidnap me?"

Hermione was out of breath from ranting. She leaned against a tree to catch her breath.

"I'll explain later," Draco told her as he sat down on a tree stump.

"No, you're going to tell me now," Hermione demanded him.

"Granger, you need to take a chill pill."

"Would you be "chill" if you had to be forced into hiding, fear being captured by You-Know-Who, have an intruder break through your bedroom window, be abducted from your home, almost get trampled by a centaur, have no clue about why we're here or anything else in that matter." Hermione was seething at this point, pacing back and forth while keeping her fists clenched at her sides.

"You're just going to have to be patient with me because I'm not allowed to say…"

Draco turned around to where Hermione had been staring and pointing her finger at. Over a hundred Acromantula spiders were moving quickly (as spiders can go) towards them.

Hermione backed up into another tree as Draco stood frozen in place. Hermione hit the back of her head on a branch as she was backing up. Her vision became foggy. The spiders were only inches away. She heard a sound almost like thunder. For a moment she thought the tree was falling over, but instead the tree was falling in. Soon there was a huge opening in the tree, big enough for a person. She thought she heard someone call her name, but couldn't be sure. She took one last step back and tumbled backward where she fell inside the opening of the tree. She hit the bottom, just before everything went black.

"Granger!"

Someone kept nagging her, and she didn't like it one bit.

"Hermione!"

Her eyelids flooded open. A tall, handsome young man with blonde hair and grey eyes sat in front of her.

"You're awake! That was quite a bad fall you had."

"Where am I?"

"We're inside of an enchanted tree. You bumped your head on a branch which somehow made an opening in the tree. I guess it was some kind of lever, and when you hit it, the tree opened up sort of like a secret passage. You fell inside and the spiders had almost reached us. I didn't know where you were at first. I saw the opening in the tree and figured you had fallen inside. I jumped in before the spiders reached me and I found you in here, out cold."

"What spiders?"

"The Acromantula spiders that were coming towards us. There were over hundreds of them. Don't you remember?"

Hermione shook her head no.

"That fall must have taken a toll on you Granger."

"Granger?"

"Yes, your last name. You really are out of it."

"If that's my last name, then what is my first?"

"Okay now you're just messing with me Hermione."

"So is it Hermione?"

"Quit acting so stupid!"

I can't believe I just said that to Hermione Granger.

"I'm not acting stupid!"

"Whatever, can you get up on your own or are you too stupid to do that?"

"I'M NOT STUPID!"

"Just get up then."

"Why are you talking to me?"

"Yeesh, you have one bad fall and think you're the queen of the world."

"I'm the queen of the world?"

"Get your stupid arse up!"

"I will, I will. I just have one more question."

Draco tap his foot impatiently. He was getting sick from all the questions she was asking him. She was acting so stupid.

He clenched his teeth together. "Only one," he said impatiently.

"Who are you?"
